Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Program - Winter 2013
- page 19

I just mailed off my packet to Vanderbilt today! I'm so nervous and really hoping to get an interview for this program. Adult Critical Care is my first choice. I graduated in May 2012 with my BSN... Read More

Question fo those who were selected. I am just doing my application for the summer program, but I don't have any work, volunteer, or leadership experience. Will this count against me? Was anyone who was selected in the same predicament?

Hey guys! I am from tennessee and was offered a position in the adult surgical tract, even though I applied for the adult critical care tract. I have took the position after much deliberation. Congratulations to everyone who was offered a position!

I applied to the Pediatric Track for the Nurse Residency Program. I actually already have my RN as well as MSN, but I have less than 6 months experience as an RN since I went straight through school. Additionally, I've only worked in primary care in private clinics, so I decided to go back to get experience in acute care to eventually become an acute care PNP (which requires acute care experience). I e-mailed the program, and they told me I am eligible because of having less than 6 months experience. I've gotten 2 out of the 3 check-marks and have submitted my transcript; I hope that my final reference (who has confirmed she will do it) submits her form soon. I wish everybody the best of luck; Vanderbilt is an excellent place to learn and work!

Hey guys! I am glad to see you have started a post for the next residency program. I am a nurse at Vanderbilt and am one of the preceptors used for the med-surg track. You guys have chosen a wonderful program! Our nurse residents are often our favorite employees. Although I was not a nurse resident myself I wanted to make myself available for any questions you have about the hospital or about Nashville. I moved to Nashville about a year and a half ago and didn't have any real contacts so it was a hard transition. I would love to help make yours a little easier! Hope to talk to some of you soon!

​Lenox Village Town Center
Grand View Apartments
The Lexington
Avondale at Kennesaw Farms - Great apts and very affordable but not really near much
The Landings of Brentwood- where I currently live- great apts about 30 min from work and in the middle of all sorts or food and shopping and celebrity homes. Please mention my name if you come here!

Hi all, I am a nursing student in CA, planning to take my NCLEX after I graduate in June and was wondering if the Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Program accepts licensure from another state such as California? This program sounds like a wonderful opportunity, and I wish to partake in a residency program as such. Please let me know!
Thank you so much!
